1976 ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE  Beautiful Firemist Green with white top. Only 59,000 miles.Very good condition and all original except for a new top, new tires, new door interior upholstery and new OEM carpets which have all been replaced within last two years. Has had a brand new A/C compressor installed and full air conditioning service done in the past month. The power top operates properly as do all four passenger windows. Even the clock still works!

This car has its original paint which appears to be in good condition and the non-fuel injected 500 cu inch engine which runs exceptionally well and shifts smoothly.The car drives very well with no hesitation or steering issues.  There are no oil drips under the engine and no blue exhaust smoke. The body is straight and there are virtually no dings or dents. The chrome appears to be in excellent condition. The flexible fender fillers appear to have been replaced at some time in the past, but are in very good condition.

This car has virtually all the convenience options Cadillac offered in 1976 including the usual P/S, P/B, P/W, tilt and telescoping wheel, cruise control, power antenna, white leather 6-way seats, power door locks, cornering lights, remote control mirrors, AM-FM 8-track tape unit, remote trunk release, power pull-down trunk lid, glass rear window with electric defogger and even the optional trumpet horns. All options work except Cruise Control, but all parts are intact. There is a small (1/4") wear spot on the piping on the driver's side of the front center arm rest and the beginnings of two cracks in the front passengers seat.

The original 8-track tape unit was replaced with a cassette tape player a few years ago, but the original 8-track unit as well as a large box of 70's and 80's tapes are included. Also included are the 1976 Cadillac Shop Manual, the corresponding Fisher Body manual plus all original documentation including the Owner's Manual and the original window sticker.

This car has been garage-kept for the past 37 years and has been driven only short distances about once a month to keep the seals lubricated. I believe this car is a solid #3 or better condition with an excellent potential to be either fully restored or used as a daily driver. More pictures available.

GM To Offer Car That Will Almost Drive Itself

Mon, Sep 8 2014

Cars that can talk to each other and almost drive themselves at freeway speeds are just two years away from the showroom, according to General Motors executives. The company announced Sunday that the semi-autonomous system for freeways will be an option on an unidentified new 2017 Cadillac that goes on sale in the summer of 2016. In addition, another 2017 Cadillac, the CTS, will be equipped with radio transmitters and receivers that will let it communicate with other cars, sharing data such as location, speed and whether the driver is applying the brakes. The announcements were made Sunday at the opening of the Intelligent Transportation Society World Congress being held in Detroit this week. They are part of a barrage of similar declarations that are expected from other companies throughout the week as the industry shows off progress toward self-driving and safer cars. The freeway system, dubbed "Super Cruise," uses cameras and radar to keep the car in the center of a lane and also stay a safe distance behind cars in front of it. The system will bring the car to a complete stop if traffic halts without driver action, and it can keep the car going in stop-and-go traffic. Other automakers, such as Mercedes-Benz, now offer similar systems that work at low speeds, but GM says it's the first to announce a system that operates at highway speeds. Others could have freeway systems in two years, though. "If the mood strikes you on the high-speed road from Barstow, California, to Las Vegas, you can take a break from the wheel and pedals and let the car do the work," CEO Mary Barra said in remarks prepared for the conference's keynote address on Sunday. But GM said the car still won't drive itself, and the company is working on a system to monitor drivers to make sure they're still paying attention. Details of that system weren't released. "Sensing technology is not yet to the point where the driver can check out," said John Capp, GM's director of global safety strategy. "This is a level of automation that can be done, that is feasible." The new Cadillac that will get Super Cruise hasn't been officially announced yet. But executives have hinted that GM will build a big rear-drive Caddy to lead its lineup in the coming years. Also Sunday, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced that it will partner with GM, Ford Motor Co.

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.

This '59 Cadillac is now on display at Toyota's museum in Japan

Tue, Dec 20 2016

The Toyota Automobile Museum is different from a lot of other automaker collections in one very interesting way: It doesn't focus solely on Toyota's own automobiles. While the home team is certainly well represented, the love is spread to plenty of non-Toyota brands and vehicles that are significant to automotive history. And that permanent collection now includes the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible you see here. Yes, the '59 Caddy has the biggest tail fins ever, which makes it measurably significant. You still wouldn't expect to see it in a museum in Japan, though. After updates to the facility and its exhibits finish early next year, the 67-vehicle collection will also include such greats as a Renault 5 (known here as the Le Car), a '64 Ford Mustang, an Audi Quattro, a first-gen Honda Insight, and a Lotus Elite. Someone over there has good taste. You can visit the Toyota Automobile Museum the next time you're in Nagakute City, which is right outside Nagoya. We're booking our tickets now.
